convection
The movement of energy from a warmer object to a cooler object is called convection currents
the form of energy would be heat. convection currents are caused by uneven heating of air or fluid. The warmer fluid is more boyant than the cooler fluid, so it floats to the top, and creates a "convection current"

Heat Energy
Essentially, yes: the Sun's heat creates convection-currents.
Essentially, yes: the Sun's heat creates convection-currents.
Heat Energy
It creates thermal energy and that causes the tectonic plates to move due to high levels of heat.
Heat energy.
Solar radiation (heat energy) is redistributed globally by wind and ocean currents.
the 3 types of heat transfer is conduction, convection, and radiation. conduction is when molecules transfer their heat to other molecules when they bump into each other. heat transfers through solids. metals are the best conductors. convection is when energy is transferred by the movement of energy from a hotter, less dense particle to a colder, denser particle. heat transfered through liquids and gases by circulating currents. these currents are called convection currents. radiation is when heat transferred through space. thermal energy is transferred in waves. heat radiation is also called infrared radiation. the sun sends its heat through radiation.
